Ushering Ministry

Christ calls every member of the church into ministry. The church is “a kingdom of priests” (I Peter 2:9). As an usher, you are a minister of hospitality and caring in the church. Every Christian believer is called to ministry, gifted by the Holy Spirit, and in baptism ordained for ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12).

When people come to church they are sometimes burdened, sad or discouraged. Each person, member or newcomer, comes with the hope that the Sabbath will be an experience of uplift and inspiration, a time of renewal and celebration. The skillful usher helps to make this a reality for those in attendance. They give a warm welcome to worshippers at the entrance/gate and assist worshippers who may need help to their seats. They also assist in whatever capacity to ensure that worshippers are comfortable and that their needs are met during the service e.g. directions to the toilet, assistance to nursing mothers e.t.c. They maintain order during meetings and services. They minimize distractions such as crying babies or ringing mobile phones during service. They co-ordinate flow/direction of people during ministrations and specialized services. They liaise with other departments in inter-related activities..
